“Brain Storage Area!”

“Fortune check-in spot — the next trillionaire could be you!”

Yun Xi felt groggy and instinctively rubbed her aching head.

Still half-asleep, she opened her eyes and found an impossibly handsome face magnified right in front of her.

“Your base commander certainly has good taste.”

As she spoke, she lazily hooked a finger under the man’s chin, admiring the sharp line of his neck and the rise and fall of his Adam’s apple.

Her hand slid lower—

Eight-pack abs. A full set of them!!!

After Blue Sky Base’s commander discovered that Yun Xi was actually a powerful figure stranded outside the base, it had taken quite a bit of persuasion to invite her in. They’d even arranged a villa for her.

And now, after only a few days, they’d already sent a man to her bed?

This face! This aura!

He was exactly her type.

His brows carried a sense of determination and steadiness, though he still looked slightly dazed. His flushed cheeks made it obvious he’d been drugged.

His features were sharp and masculine, and he looked incredibly strong…

“Well, with a face like yours, I definitely have to sample the goods.”

In the cold apocalypse, living alone really had been boring. Back in her airtight fortress, she’d simply survived day after day.

Now that fate had brought her here, she might as well enjoy a few days of paradise.

Looking at the man before her, she comforted him gently.

“Don’t worry. Stay with me and you’ll never have to worry about food or drink again. No more selling yourself just to survive. I promise you’ll live like royalty.”

As she spoke, she rolled over and slowly leaned closer to his face.

The man had already been suppressing himself with difficulty. By now, his back was soaked with sweat, veins bulging visibly.

Seeing the girl becoming increasingly bold, he quickly reached out and pulled her off him.

His mind was growing foggier by the second, but his grip tightened unconsciously, leaving red marks on Yun Xi’s wrist.

“Y-you… stop…”

His dry, hoarse voice sounded more seductive than resistant.

“Relax. Aren’t you just doing this for food? I’ll give you a proper status and take care of you for life.”

She moved toward him again, but his reaction only intensified. Yun Xi slapped him across the face.

“Quit acting like you’re being forced after getting such a good deal! If you work in this line of business, then act professional! Who are you putting on this awkward act for?”

For some reason, her body felt unbearably hot. If she’d been fully sober, someone this uncooperative would’ve already been kicked out.

Ignoring the man’s crimson-red face, she pressed her soft lips against his again.

Dry wood met raging fire.

Even silence burned with heat.

An hour later, Yun Xi lay limp on the bed, feeling as though she’d been run over by a truck.

“Wasn’t he unwilling? Once he got started, he acted like he’d never seen a woman before…”

She muttered weakly, frowning at the rough bedsheets beneath her fingers.

Too exhausted to open her eyes, she couldn’t even bother wondering why the sheets had been changed.

Before drifting completely to sleep, she vaguely thought that she ought to give this ridiculously strong handsome man a proper title someday and keep him by her side.

Bai Wangshu clenched his fists tightly, on the verge of collapse.

His mind had finally cleared somewhat—

But honestly, he almost wished it hadn’t.

Listening to the girl’s breathing gradually soften beside him, his heart pounded wildly.

She was beautiful. Stunningly so.

But she was far too thin, clearly malnourished.

He silently vowed that once he returned, he’d submit a formal report and take responsibility for her.

Thinking back to yesterday, someone had schemed against him and arranged for some unknown woman to sleep with him…

Fortunately, he’d escaped that room.

By pure accident, he’d stumbled into this girl’s room instead.

Then he noticed a suspicious-looking man lurking outside and quickly figured out that the man had drugged the girl after failing to win her over.

So Bai Wangshu knocked the man unconscious and tossed him out.

Unfortunately, the people who’d set him up had caught up with him, leaving him no choice but to hide temporarily in the room.

Who could’ve expected the girl’s drug to kick in right then, causing her to drag him straight onto the bed?

He himself had also been drugged and powerless to resist.

But in the next moment, the girl suddenly tilted her head and seemed to stop breathing altogether.

Before he could even sit up and check what had happened—

The previously delicate and fragile-looking girl suddenly seemed like a completely different person and directly…

His gaze drifted downward to the ambiguous marks left on her neck, and his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

If he could become husband and wife with someone this beautiful, it would truly be his blessing.

After all, today had ultimately been his fault.

At this moment, Bai Wangshu was already calculating his savings. After over six years in the military, he’d managed to save a fair amount.

But looking at the peacefully sleeping girl, she seemed much younger than him.

He wondered if she would dislike him for being older once she woke up.

Sighing endlessly, Bai Wangshu even started planning their future together—

He’d practically already thought of names for their future children.

It wasn’t until the middle of the night that he finally fell asleep.

Morning came, and the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room.

Before Yun Xi even opened her eyes, she felt as though her arms and legs no longer belonged to her.

The next second, a splitting headache struck as a flood of memories that didn’t belong to her poured into her mind.

The body she now occupied shared her exact same name: Yun Xi.

The original owner had lived a pitiful life.

Her mother died suddenly when she was six years old, and her grandfather, unable to endure the grief, soon passed away as well.

Before dying, her grandfather handed the enormous family fortune over to Yun Xi’s father with only one request:

Take good care of Yun Xi, and do not remarry before she becomes an adult.

Her father had readily agreed, swearing he would treat Yun Xi well and eventually hand over the entire Yun family fortune to her.

But the moment her grandfather died, the scumbag father brought his childhood sweetheart into the house—

Along with a ten-year-old daughter.

Once the stepmother entered the family, Yun Xi’s good days ended.

As the saying goes, “With a stepmother comes a stepfather.”

From then on, little Yun Xi became the family’s unpaid servant. She barely had enough to eat yet did all the chores…

Fortunately, the stepmother cared about appearances. Since the family wasn’t short on money and she feared gossip, she still allowed Yun Xi to attend school.

After sorting through the memories in her head, Yun Xi couldn’t help sighing.

Of all times to transmigrate, why did she have to end up in the 1970s?

She sat up in bed blankly, staring at her surroundings.

The walls were covered in old newspapers, and the window was tiny.

The room contained only a small wooden bed, along with a blue-gray patched blanket that looked years old.

Beside the bed sat a simple table and an old-fashioned desk lamp.

Near the door was a wooden stand holding a bright red washbasin, with a mirror hanging above it.

Everything in the room looked dull and gray.

Scenes like this only existed in television dramas from before the apocalypse.

Suddenly remembering something, she slowly turned her head like a machine.

Seeing a man lying beside her, Yun Xi immediately blushed furiously.

This was all a misunderstanding!

In such a harsh era, would this count as hooliganism?

Would they execute her for it?!

Thinking carefully, she finally remembered.

The vicious stepmother had plotted against the original owner, intending to marry her off to the mentally disabled son of a textile factory’s deputy director.

Naturally, the original Yun Xi refused.

But the evil stepmother had tried every possible method to send her straight into the fool’s bed.

That was why she’d arranged a room at the guesthouse through the deputy director’s connections—

Planning to turn things into a done deal.
